What is the hottest track in 2023? Of course it’s ChatGPT. This application has over 1 million users within 5 days of its launch, and within two months of its launch, the number of registered users has exceeded 100 million.
At present, the fire of ChatGPT has become a raging fire, both domestically and internationally. For example, in China, Huawei, Alibaba, Baidu, iFlytek, Alibaba, and others are following suit. Meituan’s Wang Huiwen also brought in $50 million to participate in the Chinese version of OpenAI.
Microsoft said it wanted to integrate ChatGPT into its own products, and its market value rose by 600 billion overnight. However, Google fell by 600 billion overnight due to incorrect responses from competitors at the press conference, indicating how magical it is.
ChatGPT, why is China lagging behind the United States? Due to significant differences in computing power and AI chips
Behind the explosion of ChatGPT, one cannot help but wonder why it was born from the United States instead of China? Isn’t it true that China is no longer inferior to the United States or even ahead in the field of mobile internet and AI? Why did it fall behind this time?
In fact, in my opinion, the reason is that the computing power and AI chips behind ChatGPT are still far behind in China. Therefore, this product that relies on computing power and AI chips was born in the United States, rather than being the first to be born in China.
ChatGPT, why is China lagging behind the United States? Due to significant differences in computing power and AI chips
ChatGPT is originally a chat software, but it requires a large number of chips to support it.
According to media reports, ChatGPT has imported at least 10000 Nvidia high-end GPU chips, with a total computing power of at least 3640PF days.
If calculated directly by value, ChatGPT should be supported by 5-8 data centers with a cost of around $500 million. It can be seen that behind ChatGPT, the focus is not only on software or AI capabilities, but also on computational power and the level of AI chips.

And this high computing power and AI chip is exactly the strength of the United States, whether it’s Intel or AMD chips, AMD or Nvidia’s AI chips, or high computing power chips such as FPGA and ASIC chips that need to be used, the United States is the world’s top.
In order to ensure the global reliance of the United States on AI computing power, it was recently revealed that the United States has banned high-end chips from AMD and NVIDIA from being sold to China.

There are also AI chip companies of all sizes in China, as well as various CPU, GPU, FPGA, ASIC chip companies, such as Loongson, Jingjiawei, Huawei Hiss, Moore Threads, etc. However, compared to Intel, NVIDIA, AMD, and Celtics, the gap is still too far. It is not too exaggerated to say that there is a gap of ten to eight years.
It can be said that behind any technological innovation nowadays is the accumulation of foundation, as well as the support of money, computing power, etc. From this point of view, ChatGPT innovation often lags behind the United States, which is a fact.
Of course, falling behind doesn’t matter, it’s important for us to recognize this, then catch up, and finally make up for our shortcomings, lay a solid foundation, and have the opportunity to catch up or even surpass in the future.https://www.stoneitech.com/
